Massage Therapy is a form of bodywork that is designed to help relax body and mind through a series of tissue manipulations. Your massage therapist will use a series of strokes, sometimes combined with gentle movements and stretches to help ease pain and relieve tension. You will likely experience a number of different styles and modalities such as myofascial, trigger point therapy, scar tissue therapy, reflexology, and Swedish massage techniques.
At Women's Massage Therapy, each massage is a different experience. Your therapist will tailor your massage to fit your needs that day. If your needs change between visits, this means that the massage will be adapted to the changes happening in your body. The type of massage that you receive depends a lot on communication. Let your therapist know what your needs are for the session regarding the style of work, amount of engagement, and treatment goals. Maybe you have chronic pain issues that you want to work out, or maybe you need a session of deep relaxation. The best way to have your needs met is to communicate them to your therapist.
The benefits of this type of body work are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance from healthier skin, greater flexibility, and much more.
If you have any kind of medical condition that may prevent you from receiving certain kinds of work, it is best to let us know when you book your session. That way, we can let you know if a doctor's release is necessary. It also gives your therapist a chance to research your condition so that she can be better prepared to work with you if she hasn't worked with anyone with a similar condition before. There are very few conditions where all massage is contraindicated (shouldn't be performed) as there are endless modifications that may be made for your comfort and safety.

Best Swedish massage Ever! "I went in for a neck and shoulder massage and I felt fantastic afterwards. I have very sensitive skin and Amanda worked with me to find the right pressure that would work for me. I sit at a computer and commute every day and relief from the massage was felt for days after." |
"Amanda gave me a great massage. I was introduced to her through an event at Hip Circle Studio in Evanston. At the event, Amanda taught us all how to self massage with a tennis ball and release tight muscles. I scheduled a massage with her because I could tell that she really knew the human body and muscular structure. I was surprised by the type of massage she employed to release my tension. She did not do traditional Swedish massage. Most of it was a specific massage technique to relieve tightness at specific trouble spots, I think it was called myofascial massage. Evidently, tight upper shoulders sometimes indicate tight pectoral muscles. Once released, I felt amazing. During the process, it is not as "relaxing" as you would do just for a regular spa type massage. It was more therapeutic in nature." “I received a massage from Amanda and found it very relaxing and therapeutic. After the massage we talked a bit and I learned that Amanda does much more than a basic Swedish massage. She did structural and myofascial things. |
